Bound Records represents the Techno label from Michael Burkat & Lars Klein founded at the end of 2002.

Michael Burkat has grown in stature over the last 10 years and have been produced quality techno with support from DJs around the world. With releases on well known labels like Primate, Planet Rhythm,Fine Audio, Heroes, Contrast, Patterns, Bound and many others, he is still a part of the worldwide techno scene. This scene has seen many producers come and go but Michael has mutated his distinct sound over the years to keep listeners interested. As a DJ, Michael has traveled throughout all of Germany and Europe and his sets, like his productions, are compositions of clearly structured sounds, which never bore any dance floor.

After a successful 3 ½ years work as A&R of the UCMG labels Fine Audio, Touch Tone and Compressed, Michael decides to take his own path and separate from UCMG Germany in December 2002. He's continued developing his production and Dj-skills over the years and is now successful in his own work with his very own labels Bound, Temper and Goodfellas.
